    ...all levels of the system, from core implementation to scripting. Most ERP systems, while written in one language, use another scripting language to allow flexible configuration at run time by ERP administrators. Python is equally well suited both for scripting and core development, reducing complexity and increasing the flexibility of the system. Using Python allowed code initially written as scripts to be incorporated afterward into core components, and vice versa, wherever this made sense. Wit...

I was not entirely confident about some parts of the task, especially building a graphical user interface, but decided to face my fears, trusting to Python's maturity, powerful libraries, and third-party support.

Describing the rationale for his choice, Curt said "I looked at Java and C and came to the conclusion that 1 line of Python is 10 lines of Java or 100 lines of C. Developers write code at basically a constant rate so I chose Python which was (and is) the highest level language I've ever seen that is also flexible enough to be generally useful." Architecture From the beginning, T...

Tools not Written in Python The good experiences with the Python-based tools are confirmed by other projects originally coded in C++. The development of TTP-Load, the download tool, started in 1999. We decided to write this tool in C++ because the tool had to use a low-level Ethernet driver in order to communicate with an Ethernet-...

    ...alltalk Perhaps the biggest difference between Python and Smalltalk is Python's more "mainstream" syntax, which gives it a leg up on programmer training. Like Smalltalk, Python has dynamic typing and binding, and everything in Python is an object. However, Python distinguishes built-in object types from user-defined classes, and currently doesn't allow inheritance from built-in types. Smalltalk's standard library of collection data types is more refined, while Python's library has more...

Python is a very productive way to write code. Support for Selective Optimization: We knew there was a chance that profiling would later reveal that small portions of our application were time-critical, and therefore might need to be re-coded in C or C++. Python integrates seamlessly with these languages, so you truly can "...
